Email Spam Worth Publishing
June 15th, 2009
I don’t normally do this, copy and paste something from an email into a blog post, but today I can’t help myself. I read these “jokes” and had to share them with everyone without spamming your inbox. Thank you Commander for forwarding them!

My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels.
She asked, ‘What’s on TV?’
I said, ‘Dust.’
And then the fight started…

My wife and I are watching “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” while we
were in bed. I turned to her and said,
“Do you want to have sex?”
“No,” she answered.
I then said, “Is that your final answer?” (Read the rest of the story…)

So I Called Up the Captain
March 23rd, 2009
The internet is a wonderful thing.
Just the other day I received a friend request on Facebook from a person I hadn’t seen or heard from in over 20 years. This isn’t some long lost high school friend (although I get those too), I am talking about a friend who is from another country I met while attending a NATO school on the Italian military base Borgo Piave in the middle of nowhere outside the town of Latina, Italy.
SATCOM Classmates
The school we classed up for would keep us there for about 3 months, the classes we attended prepared us for working on NATO’s satellite ground terminals. We arrived in May 1988, the class was made up of people from many NATO countries but five of us formed a bond I recall often and do cherish the memories.
They called the five of us the Beastie Boys. Three from the United Kingdom, one each from England, Wales and Scotland, one Canadian and myself.
Arriving in May (Read the rest of the story…)

Now We’re Talkin!
February 22nd, 2009
This Powerpoint presentation seems to have been making its way around the email world. I had a good friend send it to me, thought it was an actual invitation to a BBQ living in Memphis and all – I knew it wasn’t after the first couple of slides (Read the rest of the story…)

Smile – It is almost Christmas!
December 5th, 2008
Santobama from TOONrefugee
With Christmas quickly coming upon us and the economy in the tank I thought this series of Christmas cartoons might be just the thing to help bring a brighter smile to your face. The artist’s use of vivid colors and detail seem to bring the pictures to life. The picture I decided to showcase here depicts President-elect Obama appropriating the bailout money 
The series I linked to is called the 12 days of Christmas, I look forward to seeing how he mixes current events with Santa and the elves. Who knows, maybe he will have Santa and his sleigh with a tailhook attempting to hit the 3rd wire, that would be cool.
On another note, Happy Cinco De-Drinko! It was 75 years ago today that the prohibition of alcohol in the United States was lifted – it should be a national holiday! (Read the rest of the story…)

Golf Clubs Grow On Trees
October 31st, 2008
I enjoy playing the game of golf even though no matter how much effort I put into the game my score never seems to improve. Took a few lessons over the years, no help. Practiced at the driving range, still no improvement. Wife tried to help by getting me a new set of Pings one year, equipment being the problem was ruled out. As a matter of fact over the last 35 years of hacking away my score has hovered in the low 100’s and only occasionally will I “get in the 90’s”. The game can be frustrating to say the least.
Today proved to be no different. (Read the rest of the story…)

Happy Birthday Political Correctness!
September 7th, 2008
17 years ago today, September 7, 1991, Political Correctness was born. The two ton baby, as I am sure some of you remember, was born in a Las Vegas hotel during an annual meeting of the Tailhook Association. Mother was in labor for three days (baby was finally born only after a few Sailors strategically slapped momma on the ass err butt umm, derriere). The child was given the name “Tailhook”, after the father.
In honor of the birth, the Navy removed “Sailor’s Have More Fun” and “Full Speed Ahead” from our vocabulary and quickly adopted, “Let the Journey Begin” and made most jobs “gender neutral”.
Within a few months of the birth, Clarence Thomas and others quickly found the baby cried the loudest when there was even a hint people may have been harassed in a sexual manner. Not long after the baby realized the distaste of sexual harassment – he would get real upset, even burp up lunch, in the presents of hazing or any actions considered demeaning of another.
It wasn’t until (Read the rest of the story…)

Pondering Stuff
July 2nd, 2008
On every government check I ever got it said in the fine print that it would no longer be “good” after one year from the issue date – did the checks we pay Cuba for Gitmo also expire? I mean Castro just throws them in a desk drawer when he gets them. Is that like money sitting in our national checking account?
Words to live by; “Putting your best foot forward isn’t that impressive if you haven’t washed your feet.”
We have been digging up ancient people’s graves for a couple of hundred years now – (Read the rest of the story…)

Military Moves
June 9th, 2008
Bonnie and I have made our fair share of military moves. We have lived overseas and all over the United States from Boston to Panama City – Phoenix to Philly. Each time we moved we left it up to the contractors the household goods people sent to the house to pack our things. Our moves gradually became larger as we started collecting more and more stuff and thank goodness our weight allowance kept pace – we could ship up to 15,000 pounds during our last move and almost hit that number even though we would also pack our car so full you couldn’t see out the back windows.
A few homesteads ago, I think it was when we lived in Georgia but the wife seems to think Jackson, MS, we picked up this plant. Where we got him really doesn’t matter but his life story does. It is an amazing tale of hardship, neglect, perseverance and wonder. (Read the rest of the story…)
